Scottsdale Gallery Row

Yesterday's photo introduced you to the Scottsdale Artwalk, which operates as an open house every Thursday night from 7 pm to 9 pm at the art galleries in Old Town Scottsdale.

Today's photo shows a woman walking next to three art galleries. This is a typical scene along the Scottsdale ArtWalk path on gallery row.

People are walking around and enjoying the sunshine, the parklike setting, they are browsing in galleries, looking at art that is on sidewalks or the statues located in or around the street, and enjoying the many outdoor cafes. There are over 100 art galleries in Scottsdale and the art ranges from Contemporary, International, Asian, European, Russian, Western, and more.

It was always hot but the homes of many artists were adobe with the door wide open and from the outside it looked like you were about to walk into a cool, dark, cave. And it was like that. Going from the heat to the cool shade inside was better than air conditioning. We always lingered until we had soaked up enough cook skin to make it to the next adobe house in the artist's circuit.
